Cubs star Alex Bregman hospitalized after taking brutal foul ball to the face

Chicago Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman left Sunday's 9-1 win over the Cincinnati Reds after being struck in the face by a foul ball while waiting in the on-deck circle.

During the top of the fourth inning at Great American Ball Park, teammate Michael Busch chopped a foul ball into the dirt near home plate. The ball jumped off the dirt and hit Bregman squarely on the left side of his face.

Bregman ran toward the visitors' dugout in visible pain while holding his face.

Medical staff escorted him to the clubhouse...
